XeniaManager Blackscreen and Emu running in Back

[Milleland]

Hi everyone,

I need some help with a focus issue in LaunchBox. I have my Xbox 360 library configured using the Xenia Manager .lnk method. The games launch, but I’m running into an issue with window priority.

When I start a game through LaunchBox, the startup sequence goes like this:

1. The LaunchBox Startup Screen appears.

2. It switches to the emulator window showing the shader compilation/loading bar.

3. The LaunchBox Startup Screen pops back up, fades to black, and leaves me with a blank screen.

4. The game continues running in the background—I can hear the audio playing, but the video remains hidden.

If I press Alt + Tab, I can see all active windows: the emulator, the LaunchBox Startup Screen, Xenia Manager, and LaunchBox.

If I disable the LaunchBox Startup Screen, everything runs fine. However, I’d like to keep the Startup Screen active while ensuring Xenia automatically takes foreground focus once loaded.

Has anyone encountered this or knows a workaround or setting to force Xenia to stay on top?

Thanks in advance!

While holding Alt, if you tap Tab until 'the emulator' is highlighted/selected and let go of Alt, does it bring the game to the front?  Is the emulator window Fullscreen?

Set Fullscreen to on.

Xenia Settings
Select your emulator
Turn Fullscreen to On

Sorry for the late reply. I was out for work. 

Thanks for the Reply. 
Yes i have Xenia Settings in Fullscreen. But when i launch it thru LB O BB, I push alt and Tab, the emulator always in in WIndowMode not Fullscreen. And when i release the Alt The emulator comes to the front.
I tried to add in the PArameter Command Line to add  --fullscreen=true, but nothing. It continues in the Background in FUllscreen. 

THanks for the help....

I Think i found a solution. If i configure the Override default Home screen setting, with these settings it works. THe Loading Screen only shows 2 seconds. If I change the time from 2 to a higher value, the following sequence occurs: first the startup screen appears; after the extended time i changed, the shutdown screen pops up with the text "GAME OVER," and then the emulator appears.

I think i leave it like this presset, and Thanks a lot for the Help!!
